Sanjay Raut, Shiv Sena - Modi must take blame

The Shiv Sena said on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must take responsibility for the BJP combine's defeat in the Bihar assembly election.

After saying that Bihar Chief Minister and JD-U leader Nitish Kumar had emerged as "a political hero" after leading his alliance to a victory, he said it was time for Modi to accept responsibility.

"This is a big win for Nitish Kumar. He has emerged as a political hero," Sena's Sanjay Raut told the media.

"When Congress loses, then it's (president) Sonia's (Gandhi) responsibility. Similarly, BJP must accept that Bihar results is Modi's responsibility," Raut said.

Sharad Yadav, JD (U) - Negative statements by BJP leaders worked against NDA

Negative statements from leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the RSS during the Bihar assembly election campaign went against the NDA, Janata Dal-United chief Sharad Yadav said here on Sunday.

"(RSS chief) Mohan Bhagwat's remark on (doing away with) reservation also went against them. It became a big factor," he told CNN-IBN TV.

Yadav said it was a defeat for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his government and leaders like BJP chief Amit Shah who were fully involved in the electioneering.

"It's a win for the Grand Alliance and Nitish Kumar's developmental work...," he added.

Mumbai, Jun 22: After downgrading India's outlook to negative from stable, Fitch Ratings on Monday revised the outlook on nine Indian banks to negative.

The outlook on the Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) was revised to negative from stable due to the banks' high dependence on the Centre to re-capitalise them.

Accordingly, the IDR outlook of the Export-Import Bank of India, the State Bank of India, the Bank of Baroda, the Bank of Baroda (New Zealand), the Bank of India, the Canara Bank, the Punjab National Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank Ltd have been downgraded to negative.

"At the same time, Fitch has affirmed IDBI Bank Limited's (IDBI) IDR while maintaining the outlook at negative," Fitch said in a statement.

The rating actions follow Fitch's revision of the outlook on the 'BBB-' rating on India to negative from stable on June 18, due to the impact of the escalating coronavirus pandemic on India's economy.

"The IDRs for all the above Indian banks are support-driven and anchored to their respective SRFs," the statement said.

"They are based on Fitch's assessment of high to moderate probability of extraordinary state support for these banks, which takes into account our assessment of the sovereign's ability and propensity to provide extraordinary support."

According to the statement, the negative outlook on India's sovereign rating reflects an increasing strain on the state's ability to provide extraordinary support, due to the sovereign's limited fiscal space and the significant deterioration in fiscal metrics due to challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The rating action does not affect the banks' Viability Rating (VR). EXIM does not have a VR as its role as a policy bank makes an assessment of its standalone credit profile less meaningful."
